The Software, the Housing Project, and the Beat That Broke Reggaeton Wide Open
Barrio Fino (2004) was built across two Puerto Rican studios by Daddy Yankee and Dominican production duo Luny Tunes, who used Fruity Loops software and Caribbean genre-blending to turn the dembow into a global sound. The album became the top-selling Latin record of the 2000s decade in the US and sent "Gasolina" to the Library of Congress National Recording Registry in 2023.
